Fig. 11, Measuring peak duration. The duration of the inhalation noise is fairly long compared to unvoiced speech. So we can use a duration threshold test to eliminate any false detection due to speech. Thus the threshold must be met for N consecutive frames before detection is validated.

Fig. 2, The inspiratory phase is distinctly present and the clicking sound of the regulator’s valves as they reset for the expiratory phase are shown at the end of the sound bite as2 sharp energy spikes. The movement of air in from the tank makes a very distinctive sound (Fig. 2) that resembles a fricative sound. Fricative sounds are the part of speech used for forming consonants such as “f’. The detection of these sounds along with other aspects of taking a breath (Fig. 3) have been the subject of several papers.[1], [2], [12] Their intended use is in the music and entertainment industry signal processing where these sounds are remove or enhance for clarity or artistic reasons. The approaches discussed are to identify the inspiratory or inhalation phase since the expiratory phase is generally used to generate the formants of speech.

Fig. 1. External and internal views of a commonly used SCBA mask showing the voicemitter port. The breathing cycle is divided into four different phases: [13] The mask (Fig. 1) is a rigid structure with a clear plastic face plate and a flexible rubber seal that contacts the forehead temples cheeks and chin of the wearer. The SCBA systemnoises includes low air alarms and air regulator noises as well. [13]

Ruinskiy and Lavner [1] propose automating breath detection by processing the short time (windowed) cepstrum using an image recognition technique. The generalized approach is shown in Fig. 4. The cepstrum is computed for the sound being filtered using a mel frequency scale. The mel scale relates perceived frequency, or pitch, of a pure tone to its actual measured frequency in an attempt to match how people hear sounds.

Kushner et. al. also proposed using a moving average to update the autocorrelation coefficients and recomputing the LPC continuously to adapt to different wearers and different masks.

Fig. 6, The low air alarm is a cyclic sound made with a clacker at approximately 28Hz, Regardless of the approach used, it is necessary to identify a set of examples or exemplars to be used for training. The process of building exemplars involves isolating multiple instances of the air rushing into the mask in the recorded sound track. These sounds usually are corrupted with the low air alarm sound which is a clacking noise at approximately 28Hz (Fig. 6). The regulator inspirational sound with the low air alarm superimposed was used to form the exemplars. Using a sound mixing tool, the exemplars of the sounds are isolated and recorded into wave files. Each exemplar recording is sectioned into 15 ms frames with an overlap 5 ms. The frames are then windowed with a half-hamming window to smooth edges and de-emphasize high frequency components. The windowed frames are pre-emphasized using a first-order difference filter.

Another method uses a threshold technique to measure the duration of a peak (Fig. 11) and allows for an estimate of the breath duration. These measures are then categorized based on the peaks (greatest similarity between the template and the windowed signal). The peak finding process locates the local maxima (peaks) of the input signal vector, data. A local peak is a data sample that is either larger than its two neighboring samples or is equal to Inf (infinity). Non-Infinite signal endpoints are excluded.
